Link is a micro-transit operations company currently serving Dallas Area Rapid Transit where her team touts a 4.9/5.0 customer service rating since its inception.

Strategically identifying and staffing talented, ethical, and credentialed employees has contributed to Olivier’s reputation and success. Ms. Olivier’s motto is: “We hire for character, and train for skill.”
